LYRICS:
I had a dream you died
and I just wanna be with you tonight.
mission bells were ringing, somewhere higher.
i let you get away.

what kinda man misunderstands a woman like you
sees her in black & white.
it's 5am and the phonebook says that you're not alone.
in the cold gray morning light.

the only one that's left to trust.
my faithless heart that wasted us.

I had a dream you died
and I just wanna be with you tonight.
mission bells were ringing, somewhere higher.
i let you get away.

what kinda fool thinks love is a prison or a handicap
only says goodbye
sinking fast in the rocky waters off Alcatraz.
his friends said suicide.

the only one that's left to trust.
my faithless heart that's wasted us.

I had a dream you died
and I just wanna be with you tonight.
mission bells were ringing, somewhere higher.
i let you get away.

i'm the end of a hitchcock movie
a little dark and a lot confusing
i'm the last of the worst pretenders
so lost so lost in love
